Maintaining Your Bingo Balls

Believe it or not, we are frequently asked how to fix dented bingo balls. You know, you're calling bingo and for some reason 'B12' shows up with a dent in the side. Well, here's one home remedy that we've used to fix dented bingo balls:

1. In a container, heat some water to the point of almost boiling.

2. Place your dented bingo ball into the hot water.

3. Use a spoon or other device to hold the bingo ball under the water as best you can.

4. Soon, the bingo ball should soften a bit and the dent will repair.

Now, this won't work for cracked bingo balls. Cracked bingo balls are done and you might as well throw them away. Also, it won't work on the miniature bingo balls or the wooden bingo balls.

Finally, we're not guaranteeing this will work. While we've used this method to successfully repair bingo balls a number of times, it's very possible that it could destroy a bingo ball further. In other words, use this home remedy at your own risk.
